[bug-hunter] Text Auditor example workflow fails validation due to empty `with:` block

[github-actions]

Impact

Users who copy the shipped text-auditor example workflow get an invalid workflow configuration. This blocks adoption because workflow lint/validation fails before runtime.

The example currently includes with: but only commented keys, which parses as an empty/null with section.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a new repro file from the shipped example structure:

# /tmp/gh-aw/agent/repro-text-auditor.yml
name: Text Auditor
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]
jobs:
  text-auditor:
    uses: elastic/ai-github-actions/.github/workflows/gh-aw-text-auditor.lock.yml@main
    with:
      # intentionally mirrors shipped example's empty with block
    secrets:
      COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN: $\{\{ secrets.COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN }}

2. Run:

./bin/actionlint -shellcheck= -pyflakes= /tmp/gh-aw/agent/repro-text-auditor.yml

Expected vs Actual

Expected: The published example should validate as-is (or omit with: entirely when no inputs are set).

Actual: Validation fails with syntax error:

../../../../../tmp/gh-aw/agent/repro-text-auditor.yml:8:10: "with" section should not be empty. please remove this section if it's unnecessary [syntax-check]
  |
8 |     with:
  |          ^

Failing Test

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

cat > /tmp/gh-aw/agent/repro-text-auditor.yml <<'YAML'
name: Text Auditor
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]
jobs:
  text-auditor:
    uses: elastic/ai-github-actions/.github/workflows/gh-aw-text-auditor.lock.yml@main
    with:
      # intentionally mirrors shipped example's empty with block
    secrets:
      COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN: $\{\{ secrets.COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN }}
YAML

./bin/actionlint -shellcheck= -pyflakes= /tmp/gh-aw/agent/repro-text-auditor.yml

Evidence

• Shipped example contains empty with: block: gh-agent-workflows/text-auditor/example.yml:15-20
• Duplicate checks showed no matching open issue/PR for this exact failure.
• bug-hunter label does not exist in this repo (checked via label API), so filing without label.
